How to Make White Bean Garlic Lemon
  1. Prep your ingredients – Start by mincing the garlic and zesting the lemons.
  2. Sauté the garlic – In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until it turns golden brown, which should take about 2 minutes.
  3. Warm the beans – Stir in the white beans and cook for about 5 minutes, ensuring they are heated through while maintaining their creamy texture.
  4. Combine flavors – Add the lemon zest, juice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, mixing until all ingredients are combined.
  5. Finish with herbs – Remove the skillet from heat and fold in your fresh parsley or thyme.
  6. Serve warm – Dish up your White Bean Garlic Lemon while it’s warm, and serve with crusty bread.
